If I were given $20K: I would spend $5K to get my house ready for selling. $2K to get my car in travel condition (new tires, etc). $3K would go to helping others through random acts of kindness. The rest would be saved.

$20,000 is so small in America but it is a very significant amount in developing countries. Yes Thailand is a beautiful country to live in but I have responsibilities at home. I still have a job so I would rather spend this free money on more important things rather than travelling the world and coming back empty handed. I will deposit 10k for my son’s education because I don’t want to be too bothered by it when I grow old. I’ll pay 5k to mortgage and go to an optometrist to get my eyes fixed, a laser perhaps so that I can work more efficiently. Well, these are my main agenda’s but if I don’t have these priorities for saving cash; I’m very much willing to feed those 80,000 children in Africa.

$20,000 to me is a lot of money. i would do my very best to find an investment that i knew i could make an extra $5000 with. that could come in the form of a quick 20% gain over 6 months or so. t hat would be awesome.

I would travel. I have been on a working holiday before, where I went away for the summer overseas to work at a different job…this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I earned money while traveling and seeing the world. You have to spend money to make money!

I’d throw 90% into a 529k for myself and take the rest [minus taxes] for a trip to somewhere I haven’t been.

I would expect people on the street to have one answer, (or no answer at all) and all us smart people here in ‘blogland’ to be investing it for our futures…after all what’s the name of this blog again..? lol

Nice plan you got there Ryan. Seems like I’m one of the puzzled people, I see many opportunities in which anyone could invest if they had 20,000 $ , but health and family is on the first place. So I would use the money in order to solve those problems. But if there aren’t any problems, I would move in another country and maybe go in a trip to Vegas or Hollywood

I’d invest it. I’d totally invest it. Particularly in commodities or anything that produces income.

I’ll probably buy myself the off doodad, maybe 1000 dollars worth out of the entire 20 grand, but I’m primarily bent on getting that asset column flowing!

[...] Planting Dollars recently asked the questions on his blog whether $20,000 was a lot of money and what would I do if given that much money. [...]

This is easy for me (although I would have spent it differently a few years ago)! Today, with an extra 20K, I would pay off my car – 2K and put the other 18K in my emergency fund.
